If you are thinking about attending the Working Abroad Expo at the RDS in Dublin today or tomorrow (21 and 22 March) I'd get the skates on. I was there when it opened at 10 this morning and already there were queues of people happily handing over their €10 to get in.
Inside the scene was no different. Within 15 minutes there long queues forming at most stands. What is most striking about the event is the number of young couples talking about emigrating together, not as a result of the failure to get a job in Ireland, but more with a sense of anticipation at the exciting move that lies ahead.
Exhibitors at the event include organizations offering
construction jobs, engineering jobs and mining jobs in Canada, specifically Alberta. The two people manning this stand looked like they could do with some help to cope with the throngs looking for work opportunities in Canada. Elsewhere the New Zealand jobs stand was looking for construction
project engineers, project managers and construction managers for a major residential development and infrastructure projects and the group tradesrecognition.com was offering assistance to those who may need a liitle help to meet the qualification criteria for
construction jobs in Australia.
